This cabin was the perfect combination of rustic and modern, remote but close to everything you need. Check-in/out was a breeze. The rooms were all comfortable and very quiet - I slept well here. The host thought of just about everything - movies, board games, books, spices, cookware... you name it. Our favorite time was sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the birds - we didn't see any deer in the yard during our short stay, but we say plenty just up the road on our way in, along with a pair of bald eagles that flew right in front of our car and landed in a tree next to the road. Next time we're up this way, we'll definitely be up for booking again.

Great hideaway!

Thoroughly enjoyed being tucked away in the woods! I had hoped to cross country ski on nearby trails while my teenagers slept, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We still all enjoyed our stay!

Great Cabin in the woods!

Great cabin in the woods! A group of 7 of us stayed. Cabin was very clean n stocked with everything you need! We enjoyed walking the trails in the woods, hanging on the deck, and sitting by the fire at night. 1 hour from Duluth! Great place to stay!

Great Getaway

The property was a delight. It is nestled in the trees, with great trails and is nice and quiet. It's easy to get to and close to 35W. The pictures depict the property perfectly and the kitchen has everything you need to cook.

Great Stay

Was a great area to stay in, place was clean and had plenty of amenities. Only thing would be the neighbors (Which you cant see.) Has dogs that will bark for a while if you are outside and they hear you.

Fantastic!

Everything was great! It was a perfect setup for my family (parents and kids ages 17, 19, and 21). Everybody had plenty of space and it was just so relaxing for us to get away together and "hang" for a few days. Thanks for the perfect space for a mini "family reunion" for us all to reconnect before the school year starts again!

Good place to gather with friends or family

A family gathering to celebrate Karen's 80th B'day. a nice place to gather for an Elder party. The weather varied from light rain to muggy hot. No complaints except barking large dogs and description in listing does not accurately describe the property. Lots of parks and museums to visit and take walks. All in all a good time.

Cozy Place

Although we did not spend much time here during our trip, we did enjoy this home. Very cozy. Loved the open floor plan. The bedrooms provided more than enough room to accommodate us all. Wish i could of taken advantage of the jacuzzi tub but not enough time.

Kettle River cabin

The cabin is very well decorated in the Northwoods style, and well equipped. The grass was mowed each week. Of course, as the cabin is in the woods, there are lots of mosquitoes outside so bug spray is needed!! Two dark domestic bunnies were often in the yard but the neighbors dogs barely annoyed us. There is no walking access to the River from the cabin but you can drive to the river 1/2 mile away. Hinckley is a nice quiet town with a small good grocery store.

Great Cabin Retreat

The cabin was great. Kitchen is lovely & overall comfy & clean. We had plenty of room. Looks like some work is being finished up in the bathroom, possibly? There were lots of pantry items, towels, & paper products were well stocked. No fault of the owners but the neighbors have dogs that were barking a lot & every evening someone kept driving by & playing loud music.

Thanks for a great stay!

I had a very laid back, comfortable and enjoyable stay. The property is just as described, is very clean, and nicely updated. The kitchen is very well stocked, and the entire place had everything I needed. The trails and fun outdoor fire pits were a nice bonus. As others have noted, the neighbors have a bunch of dogs that will come visit you (and bark a lot anytime you're outside). They are friendly, and my dog looked forward to their visits. But if you have a small dog or a dog that doesn't get along with other dogs, you will want to be more careful. But my dog loved playing in the yard with his new friends.

Enjoyed our stay

The cabin was beautiful and loved the open layout! My husband and I brought our dogs and there was a lot of room for the 4 of us. We found everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking and air conditioning worked very well. As a note, the big burner does not work on the stove. The location was perfect. Super close to a state park and the river. The dogs had a fun time swimming and playing. The casino is closeby and found it has a free games (pool, arcade, darts) by the bowling and bar area. The posting is a little misleading regarding the proximity to the water. We walked the trail, its pretty long but less than a mile, but at the end it is an overlook with no access. I was hoping that the cabin was more set back for more seclusion. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

Cozy Cabin

We take a trip for Christmas instead of doing gifts, and this year we decided to book in Minnesota hoping for a good snow. The cabin was beaufitul and stayed warm! We didnt have snow like we had hoped for, but there are tons of attractions close by!!! Some pictures show the river with chairs and i will say that its a very short walk! Keep left at the fork on the trail and you will see it, but the river is extremely low! We enjoyed our stay and found that prior travelers left notes in a book. We left our story as well. Along with items left for others to enjoy, as they did for us. The only small issue we came across was the water pressure for the washing machine. The owner quickly responded to my message with a call and we talked about how the hot water worked better than cold. It is well water and we were understanding. No biggie!! We got all our clothes washed. I would highly recommend staying here!! Its well insulated and i loved the dimmable lights. Wifi worked great and i had access to every kitchen item i needed when i cooked throughout the week. There was one burner that didnt get hot (the large one) but it didnt stop me from cooking! I really liked the decorations chosen throughout the cabin. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment here and will definitely return in the future!trail

Girls get-away

Stayed here for a girls get-away, long weekend. Inside the cabin was great! Very clean and accommodating. Beds were comfortable however there were flannel sheets on them and im not a fan. Items were pretty well stocked except a few things. We couldnt find one washcloth and had to go buy some. Outside was a little less impressive. There were 3 hornets above the main entrance door. We couldnt use that door. Side door was fine. There are pictures in the description that show a firepit and chairs around it, looking over the bluff. That firepit is a good 10 minute walk down a mostly cleared path. Pretty, yes. But not ideal to sit around a fire at night. You would have to haul everything you need down there. Maybe a sign at the start of the path behind the cabin stating how far you need to walk. That being said, there is another nice firepit in the yard. We had to bring chairs from the patio table over but it worked out nice. Tons of firewood provided!! Many other reviews mentioned the neighbor dogs. They never did come in the yard but they do bark a lot! Super sad, because anytime we drove by, they were all just tied up in the yard. Overall, we were happy with our stay.
